Chapter 29: Descending the Mountain

Twilight is coming, time flies, time flies silently, summer, autumn, seeing that winter is almost halfway over, the simple days on the mountain always seem to fly by.

These days, the weather is overcast, the air is also extremely cold, and it is a sign that it is about to snow. Ruyi wore a heavy fox fur and walked briskly towards the master's bamboo building.

Master's health has not been very good since the beginning of winter, but Master has always insisted on treating Ruyi, and now Ruyi's headaches are infrequent, and some fragments of recalling the past can be remembered. Although the memories were not strictly wishy, they felt very familiar to her.

Before entering the house, he heard Master's coughing, Ruyi took two steps and asked with some concern, "Master, why are you coughing again?" ”

"It's okay, it's all the same old problem."

Ruyi knew that since Liniang's incident, the master seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden. But there is no way to persuade them.

"Master, if you are sick today, why don't you take a day off and don't give injections?"

Guigu looked at Ruyi with a smile and said, "Master, what kind of illness is this?" You underestimate Master too much, right? ”

Guigu sat Ruyi on the couch and took out a cloth roll, which was filled with silver needles of different thicknesses and lengths, Guigu simply pierced a few silver needles on the acupuncture points on the top of Ruyi's head, and then gently twisted the silver needles. Ruyi closed his eyes, and after a while, he was a little drowsy. Some images flashed through my mind.

About a stick of incense, Ruyi's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and Guigu pulled out the silver needles one by one.

"How does it feel?" Guigu asked as he cleaned up. "It feels refreshed." Ruyi said truthfully. "That's good, the blood stasis problem has been solved, and the blood clots should almost be dispersed after two more times." Guigu said with some relief.

"Thank you, Master." Ruyi said sincerely. Guigu touched Ruyi's head and said with a smile: "You girl, you are polite to the master." Guigu paused for a while and then said, "Ruyi, what are your plans for the future?" ”

Ruyi thought for a while and said, "When Xuecheng completes his studies, he will go to Wei Kingdom first, there are some things I want to figure out, and then I will go to Qi Kingdom to find my brother Wang." ”

"Do you want to take revenge?" Guigu asked with some hesitation.

Ruyi thought seriously for a while, looked at Guigu and said, "I want to take revenge, but I won't take revenge." If I choose the path of revenge, then I can only live in heavy shackles and darkness for the rest of my life, and when my mind is blinded by hatred, then what is the difference between me and those who have hurt us. ”

Guigu looked at Ruyi's similar eyebrows and smiled sincerely, "It's good that you can think like this, I'm still worried that you will be obsessed with revenge." But that's right, you also said that you will let go of the revenge of killing your mother, and I have nothing to worry about, Ruyi you are better than being a teacher. ”

Ruyi smiled embarrassedly, "Master, if you continue to boast like this, I'm afraid this house won't be able to fit me." ”

Guigu laughed loudly, and Ruyi looked at Guigu's mood and laughed.

What's the use of some grievances no matter how persistent they are, whether it's resentment or remorse, what happened is irreversible after all, let it pass in the past.

Guigu felt that the depression in his heart was swept away, and his mood was much lighter. "Ruyi, what are you going to do in the future?"

"I hope that there will be less bullying and more equality in this world, where there will be no war, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. I want to try to achieve this goal. Ruyi's quiet and powerful voice is like a bell, deafening.

Guigu looked at Ruyi with satisfaction, and thought: Everyone else hopes that they will become famous and display their talents, or hope that a country will become strong and become a generation of strong people. Ruyi can stand so high and look down on the overall situation, it seems that this apprentice is full-fledged and is about to let go.

After a while, Guigu took out a hexagonal blue spar and handed it to Ruyi, "This spar was given to your mother by me, and now it will be transferred to you." The world thinks that this spar has divine powers. Actually, I haven't turned it on either. Master once said that it has the power to reach the past and the present. ”

Ruyi took the crystal stone and was surprised to find that this kyanite was the one worn on the wrist of the princess of the Warring States in the previous portrait. This is probably not a coincidence. Ruyi is not sure what her relationship is with this Warring States princess, but it must be related.

*

When Ruyi came out of the bamboo building, the ground was already silvery. There were snowflakes floating in the sky, and the bamboo forest rustling in the wind, and in this pure white background, the sound of the wind was like the sound of a drum.

Ruyi thought back to what the master said as he walked, Wei was now divided into two factions, the aristocratic ministers represented by Gongshu Acne supported Gongzi Poppy, and the commoner ministers followed Gongzi Xuan. The two factions have become white. And Zhao Guochenghou and Han Yihou led troops into the Wei realm.

Gongzi was supposed to be with Wu Ming, but somehow he returned to Wei again, and I don't know if he reached some kind of agreement with Zhao State.

Ruyi decided to go down the mountain to help Gongzi Poppy, and she had just proposed it to the master, and the master also agreed, just asking her to pay attention to safety.

Ruyi went back and immediately repaired a letter, informing Gongzi that the two countries of Poppy and Han and Zhao had entered the territory of Wei, and asked him to be careful.

Ruyi went to the Yunmo Inn in Yunmeng Town to find the ink and learned that Zhao Guo asked Gongzi to delay his return to China to fight for the throne and caused civil strife, and then Han Zhao intended to divide up the remaining Jin territory controlled by Wei.

After thinking about it for a while, Ruyi understood that the remaining territory of the Jin State would definitely not be able to be saved, and the Han-Zhao Alliance would definitely take action against the Wei State in the next step.

Ruyi simply packed up, took Xia He and went to Anyi, the capital of Wei.

Before leaving, Guigu told Ruyi that the blood clot in her head had dissipated, but it was up to luck when she would be able to recover her memory. Maybe it will recover after a while, or maybe it will never recover. Ruyi smiled and said that he was used to it and didn't care.

The Wei State took the day of the beginning of spring as the Spring Festival, which was the beginning of the new year. Anyi, the capital of Wei State, just after the Spring Festival, the lively atmosphere is still continuing, the door is hung with peach charms, red lanterns, the street is still full of people, shoulder to shoulder, a prosperous scene, not affected by the cold wind of this winter.

Ruyi arrived in Anyi, but he was not in a hurry to enter the palace, and had been wandering outside for two days.

Xia He asked Ruyi with some puzzlement, "Childe, you are in a hurry on the road day and night, why are you not in a hurry when you arrive in the capital?" ”

At this time, Ruyi was sitting in the restaurant and eating leisurely. Ruyi listened to Xia He's question, looked up at Xia He and didn't answer, but pointed to his ears and continued to bow his head to eat.

Xia He listened intently according to Ruyi's meaning. I only heard a table in front of me on the left, and whispered in a low voice, "I heard that the second prince Wei Xuan united many civilian ministers to fight against the eldest prince, and the eldest prince is now struggling. "A table in the rear right is also quietly discussing, "I heard that Wei Xuan has asked the Han and Zhao coalition forces to recruit the eldest prince and force him to give way." ”

"I heard that Dr. Wei fled from South Korea by mistake." The words startled a thousand waves, and there was silence all around, and they all lowered their heads to concentrate on eating, but their eyes quietly glanced at the person who spoke.

The person who spoke sat in the corner, wearing a bamboo hat on his head, and sat in the shadows to hide most of his face, and he could vaguely see that it was a man. Ruyi looked up at the man twice, then lowered his head again and continued to eat. There is no sound of ear-to-ear communication in the restaurant, and Ruyi feels tasteless. After a few bites in a hurry, he got up to check out and pulled Xia He away.

When they got rid of the stalking behind them and turned back to the inn where they lived, Xia He quietly asked Ruyi, "Miss, do you think there is something wrong with that person just now?" ”

Ruyi nodded cautiously, "I'm afraid there are some problems." I'm afraid that sentence is said to us. Ruyi thought for a while and continued, "Xia He packed up his things and let's change the inn." ”

Speaking of the restaurant, the man wearing the bamboo hat saw that Ruyi was gone, so he also slowly settled the bill and walked out. Immediately after leaving the restaurant, two people who looked like attendants followed and whispered, "My lord, I have ordered someone to follow." The man nodded and walked leisurely into the courtyard of a detached house in an alley.

When he entered the courtyard, the man picked up the bamboo hat and threw it aside, revealing the face of a young man, with a slightly angular face, which looked a little unruly, his hair was loosely tied behind his head, and his gestures showed wanton freedom.

As soon as the man entered the house, someone knocked on the courtyard door and stood outside the house to report, "My lord, I lost it." ”

The man chuckled in the room, "That's interesting. ”

At night, a man in a black cloak and a black hood stood in front of the courtyard gate and lightly buttoned the door knocker three times. Immediately an attendant opened a crack in the door, and when he saw that the person who had come came respectfully let in, he led the way into the main house.

The hooded man entered the house, and the heating in the room was blowing, and he saw that the young man in the room was wearing only a white undershirt, sitting lazily on the low table with his elbows. The hooded man frowned unconsciously, and saw that the young man did not immediately get up and salute, and his heart was a little unhappy.

"Lord Gongsun, are you going to sleep?" There was some coldness in the hooded man's voice, knowing that now it was not as good as before, and he still had to rely on this person, trying to restrain himself.

Only then did the young man get up slowly, "I don't know if the second son came to visit late at night, and he missed the distance." "He said it, but he didn't mean anything about it.

The hooded man, taking off his hood to reveal a slightly pale face, was the second son, Wei Xuan, who had been missing for many days.

Wei Shu didn't bother to bother with him, "My father is about to die, Lord Gongsun, what are you going to do next?" The young man, who was called Gongsun Lord, sat down slowly again, slumped in front of the low table, and his posture was very indecent. Wei slowly frowned, turned his head and pretended not to see.

Gongsun Xin said indifferently: "Second son, don't worry, it's not time yet." I'll let you know when the time comes. ”

Gongsun Xin saw that Wei Xuan was not satisfied with his words, still sat still, thought for a while and then said, "In the near future, I will go to South Korea, and the second son will not come to me in the near future." ”

When Wei Huan heard that Gongsun Xin was going to South Korea, his heart moved. Gongsun Xin glanced at Wei Xuan and said casually, "The second son can't go with me." It's not time for you to come forward yet. ”

Wei Shu was angry in his heart, but he knew that he still had to rely on this person now, so he endured it, "Then Master Lao Gongsun will run for me." He will never forget the merits of his lords. ”

Gongsun Xin didn't answer, but just sneered softly.

Wei Shu became more and more uncomfortable, so he had to get up and say, "Lord Gongsun should rest early." As he spoke, he walked out of the door, and when he was about to reach the door, he said, "Recently, Lord Gongsun has been going to the restaurants in the city a lot, and I don't know if I like the cook of that house, so why don't you go back to the house." Wei slowly paused and continued: "I hope that Lord Gongsun can inform me in advance of any plans and arrangements, so that I can cooperate." Otherwise, it will mess up the adult's plan. After saying that, he put on his hood and walked into the night.

Gongsun Xin looked at Wei Huan's departing back thoughtfully, he didn't take Wei Huan's threat to heart, but he didn't want Wei Huan's self-righteousness to ruin his chess game. He doesn't care about fame and fortune, but he enjoys the process of the game, he uses the country as a chess game and lays out a chess game, but the chess pieces have their own thoughts but they are not what he is willing to see.

"Come on, I'm optimistic about the second son during the time I'm away." Gongsun Xin commanded. "Whoa." The attendant replied.
